Fig. 3From: Distribution and prognostic value of left ventricular global longitudinal strain in elderly patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacementSurvival by LVGLS overall and in patients with HG and NEF AS. Kaplan–Meier estimates of cumulative survival in all patients (a) and in a subgroup of patients with high gradient (> 4 m/s) aortic stenosis and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50% (b) with LVGLS > and ≤ − 14%, respectively. Patients with LVGLS ≤ − 14% had superior survival compared with patients impaired LVGLS > − 14%Back to article page
